CARL FIALA (Austrian, 1885-1955) was a well-known miniature sculptor and medalist during the Art Nouveau era. Initially trained as a chaser, he attended evening courses at the State Trade School in Vienna, and then worked in Munich and Cologne as a chaser. In Germany, Carl Fiala studied sculpture at the School of Applied Arts with Professor G. Grasegger. In 1912, he returned to Vienna and continued his studies at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts under Josef Müllner and Edmund von Hellmer. In 1921, Carl Fiala received the Rome Prize and became an honorary member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus.
